Obligations and Targets

In this section

The public sector is leading the way for energy efficiency in Ireland. Reaching their 2020 targets requires radical action, and we are here to help.

EU and national energy efficiency obligations

The National Energy Efficiency Action Plan (NEEAP) and the European Communities Regulations have set out the obligations and targets for public bodies. This has been underpinned by the Public Sector Energy Efficiency Strategy.

Energy efficiency improvements

Every public service organisation is required to achieve a 33% energy efficiency improvement. Our Partnership Programme aims to work with organisations who commit to achieving the target. We can help you achieve greater savings, and reduce your energy use.

Energy management programmes

Energy management programmes must be embedded in every public sector organisation. This is a core requirement of the public sector strategy. Through our Public Sector Programme, we will help you set up the most suitable energy efficiency measures for your organisation.

Display Energy Certificate (DEC)

Public sector buildings over 250m2 must have a Display Energy Certificate to clearly show their energy use and Building Energy Rating. There are supports available under the Public Sector Programme to assist organisations in improving their rating.
